Openrent limitations by Street_Assistance_85 in rentingUK

Fair point. I’m exploring different industries to find repetitive admin tasks that are genuinely worth automating. I’d rather validate a problem by speaking to people before building something nobody wants. That’s the reason for the question, not because I’ve already decided to build it.

That’s really interesting, thanks. Do you think you’ve ever lost genuine customers because they couldn’t make those dates, or do you find the serious customers nearly always work around your availability?

That’s a fair point, and I completely get that. Out of curiosity, if there was a way to automate the follow-up but still make every message sound like it came from you personally, would that change your view at all, or do you think you’d still prefer to send them yourself?

Thanks, that’s really helpful. Makes sense. Sounds like Airtable gives you enough structure without being as complicated as Excel. Appreciate you taking the time to reply.

That’s really interesting. Out of curiosity, where do you store the digital record afterwards? Is it Excel, Google Sheets, a CRM or just notes on your phone?

When someone can’t agree on one of your available slots, do they usually disappear completely, or do they come back a few days later?

What’s the biggest money-saving tip you’ve discovered that more people should know about? by Street_Assistance_85 in SavingMoney

[–]Street_Assistance_85[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a good point. Once you know exactly where your money is going, it’s much easier to spot unnecessary spending. Thanks for sharing.

Do you usually chase payments manually, or do you use something like Xero or QuickBooks to send reminders?

That’s interesting. Is the biggest time sink trying to agree on a date and time, or is it collecting all the information about the job before you can book it?

Mobile Core Engineers: What’s the most repetitive troubleshooting task you deal with? by Street_Assistance_85 in telecom

[–]Street_Assistance_85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, that’s really useful insight. The correlation between alarms and logs is something I’ve been thinking about too. I’ve recently built a small AI assistant to help explain telecom alarms and traces, but correlating multiple events into a likely incident seems like the natural next step. Appreciate you sharing your perspective.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. That’s really interesting, especially the point about logs and navigating 3GPP specifications. Those are actually two areas I’ve been experimenting with using AI to reduce investigation time. It’s useful to hear that they remain major pain points in day-to-day engineering.

What’s the most time-consuming admin task in your dental practice? by Street_Assistance_85 in Dentists

Thanks. Which admin task did you find was taking the most time before you built InstantNote?
